I keep getting this popup multiple times per day. I did not install any Google software that I know of. I do not want any Google software installed on my computer. When I open the Login Items Open at Login control panel I only one thing that I want to have permission.

Underneath I see a huge list of things, some of which I installed some of which I didn't. They have toggle controls to turn them or off. Some have a little (i) button that I click to see exactly what they are. Some don't. The only thing from Google listed is "Google Updater" the toggle switch is off. There is no (i) button to click to find out what this is exactly or where it is. How do I remove this and revoke its permission to keep "adding items that can run in the background." This thing is like a virus.
